Easily share data with family members through Telstra's Upfront plans and avoid any excess usage charges.
We’re reader-supported and may be paid when you visit links to partner sites. We don’t compare all products in the market, but we’re working on it!
As of March 2021, Telstra has reintroduced data sharing between all of its Upfront mobile and Upfront data plans under the same account.
Previously, data sharing was limited to its family and data share SIM plans only.
How does Telstra data sharing work?
Sign up to any of Telstra's Upfront plans or Upfront data plans and get access to data sharing.
You won't need to activate data sharing yourself. Once these plans are under the same account, Telstra data sharing will automatically be available across all plans.
Data is automatically shared between up to 10 separate Upfront plans on the same account
Plans are paid automatically at the start of the month, with no billing
Get access to 30 minutes of international calls and Telstra Plus rewards
Data sharing can't be disabled and all users on the account can access all the data with no restrictions.
Once the entire pool has been used up, all linked accounts will have their download speed capped at 1.5Mbps until the following month.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
Or, if you're really keen on the data sharing model, you can consider a family mobile plan like ALDImobile's. This provides up to 110GB of data for the family to share but comes with inbuilt controls on who can download how much.
Frequently asked questions
All of Telstra's Upfront mobile and Upfront data plans come with data sharing automatically included, so it doesn't cost you any extra as a feature.
When the data in your shared pool has been used up, you don't have to worry about getting charged for excess usage over your monthly limit.
Upfront mobile and Upfront data plans come with endless data, which means the mobile Internet speeds for all members will get reduced to 1.5Mbps until the following month.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of banks, insurers and product issuers. We value our editorial independence and follow editorial guidelines.
finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product or service.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan.
Products marked as 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money here.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
